Copying Monitoring Properties Variants 

Use

You can copy the values from one monitoring properties variant to a different one. Alternatively, you can select the individual properties for specific MTE classes from one properties variant, and copy these to a different properties variant.

SAP recommends that you copy only specific values from one properties variant to another, rather than copying the whole variant.

When you copy the whole properties variant, all of the values it contains are copied to your destination properties variant.

You do not have to set specific values for each individual MTE class in your monitoring properties variant. If you do not specify your own values for a specific MTE class, the R/3 System automatically uses the customer preset values (the properties variant "Q" ) or the SAP-DEFAULT values.
